Howard Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Here is a different way to "skin a cat". http://ideaintegrator.com/boats/tmc/default.html Twin lug sails? Quote
capt jake Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Interesting. I will have to read it in it's entirety later. Looking forward to his future posts. Quote
BryanLee Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Bizarre and a bit nuts, yes, but he is sailing in Mexico and I am sitting in a little cube staring at a screen at 6pm on a Friday night... Good for him! Quote
Greg Luckett Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 I wonder how it sails in different wind conditions with parrallel masts? I will read the link more later as time permits. Those are some really good pics too, except maybe the moon shot. : Quote
capt jake Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 New post today. Pretty interesting story. Heck,he drove right past where I live on his way to Mexico. His description of I5 is right on spot! Horrible section of freeway. Quote
Greg Luckett Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 I am currently reading his story, between helping the boys get ready for an overnight stay at thier sister's home. It is a "fun" reading. I am trying to imagine paddeling that boat as he did in the dark. :-\ Quote
lbrewer Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Did anybody notice the boat behind his micro-cruiser in the first picture of the link. I'd like to see more of that one too! Quote
Hirilonde Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 That thing is so ugly I can't help but like it. He claims it can tack through 90 degrees. There's more than one boat out there that can't. Bizarre and a bit nuts, yes, but he is sailing in Mexico and I am sitting in a little cube staring at a screen at 6pm on a Friday night... Good for him! Definitely some truth in that. Quote
capt jake Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 New postings and format here. some really nice pictures and stories, though I haven't read the lot yet. Quote
capt jake Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 There are some good videos buried in there. Top speed at over 13 with GPS. What an adventure this guy is having in a tiny boat. Quote
capt jake Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 New entries and photos. What a trip this guy is taking! Quote
adla Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 I agree - the photo on the station wagon is a little wacky, but his sailing stories are interesting. And what an interesting boat.... a. Quote

Ah, the station wagon is only the beginning! It is kind of hard to find, but here is the construction log. http://ideaintegrator.com/boats/mc/construction.htm A very fast build also! I kind of envy the trip he is taking. It looks like the little thing performs very well. He is always talking of 20-30 kts winds. Quote
Craig Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 It is slow this morning so I have just read through this. Quite a story. I'm looking forward to the rest of it. This is a real adventure. 8) 8) 8) Quote
capt jake Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 New installments this morning! http://ideaintegrator.com/boats/tmc/default.html Quote
capt jake Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Two new installments this morning again. http://ideaintegrator.com/boats/tmc/default.html Quote
capt jake Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 New entry today http://ideaintegrator.com/boats/tmc/11.html > I have sent him a few e-mails, seems like he would be a fun guy to sail with. Quote
Craig Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Jake I am really enjoying this adventure. Thanks for posting... 8) 8) 8) Quote
capt jake Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Jake I am really enjoying this adventure. Thanks for posting... 8) 8) 8) Me too. I just can't believe the undertaking in such a small boat. But he is seeming to be fine. I am always 'waiting' for the next installment of his. I started out just skimming them at first, but them had to go back and read everything fully, to truly grasp what he is doing. Quote
